The interim…

Since the beginning of the field, many art therapists have used artwork as a practice to help them manage and understand their work with clients.

McNiff, Shaun – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2019
Reflections on 5 decades of art therapy experience continuously return to a focus on how art heals. This question is addressed along two lines of thought. The first acknowledges the simultaneous existence of transcultural, shared dimensions of art, together with infinite differences in people, communities, and artistic expressions. The second…

The 2013 revision of the "Ethical Principles for Art Therapists" added creativity as a core value underlying the profession.
